I write more with AI because it makes writing the same as reading.

Any chance you could elaborate a little? I have no idea what you mean here.

There is nothing more powerful in this world than words.

Okay, thank you, that makes a little more sense. 

But isn't writing part reading anyway? Don't you read as you write, section by section or at least if not like that, before you rewrite?

Isn't what's happening here just that you're sharing the writing load as you with any writing partner, and you're writing half as much as you normally would?

I mean that when an AI is writing alongside you, they are generating new prose that you read and then write (or edit) in response to.

Writing has always been in dialogue with other writing, through the act of reading. Writing with AI collapses that distance into the text itself. You are both writing it and reading it at the same time.

Not only is this cognitively easier than "pure" writing, its pleasure is akin to the pleasure of reading. Plus, I've found it opens new time in the day for writing when I would otherwise be too tired. At night for instance. Usually I read before bed. But now I can also write, because it's less taxing with AI, increasing my daily output.
